\"78326B\" There’s no shame in wanting to punch a medical epidemic right in its adam’s apple. Punch sickness, not people. That’s what I always say. If your white-hot hatred of Swine Flu still hasn’t tapered off, though, it’s gonna take a lot more than a little virus punching to get you the satisfaction you deserve. Might I suggest — and hear me out \u2013 murder? Yes, murder. <\/p>\n

Murder via this ultraviolet light wand that looks like a cross between an oversized Wii remote and some sort of sick, twisted adult novelty item that Biggs has yet to review.<\/p>\n

The $70 \u201cH1N1 Destroying UV Wand\u201d from Hammacher Schlemmer promises to choke the life out of \u201c99.98% of the H1N1 virus after a five-second exposure when held 3\/4″ above the contaminated surface.\u201d And if you think there won’t be any collateral damage, think again. According to the product page:<\/p>\n

\u201cAlso capable of killing MRSA, mold, and dust mites, the UV-C light penetrates viral and bacterial membranes and destroys their DNA, rendering the microorganisms incapable of reproduction and survival. Unlike liquid disinfectants, UV-C light can sanitize keyboards, upholstered furniture, cell phones, or any delicate surface that harbors germs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, that’s right, it destroys DNA. The building blocks of all life, obliterated. Take that Swine Flu. You take that to hell and you don’t come back.<\/p>\n
